What to Do After a Workplace Injury in Brockton

If you’re hurt on the job in Massachusetts, acting quickly and carefully can protect your health, your job, and your right to compensation. Here’s what to do:

Report the injury to your employer in writing. Massachusetts law requires employees to notify their employer about an injury within 7 days. If you’re unable to report it right away, do so as soon as you can—and always keep a copy of the written notice for your records.
Get medical attention immediately. Your health comes first. In Massachusetts, your employer may have the right to choose the doctor for your initial visit, but after that, you can usually see your own provider. Be honest and detailed about how the injury happened.
Contact a workers’ compensation lawyer. After receiving medical care, speak with a workers’ comp attorney—especially if your injury is serious or you’re unsure about your rights. A lawyer can help you understand your options, avoid common mistakes, and take over communication with the insurance company.
Document everything. Save all medical records, prescriptions, time-off slips, and any communication between you, your employer, or the insurance company. These documents may be necessary if your claim is questioned or denied.
File a workers’ compensation claim. Your employer is required to file a Form 101 with the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) within 7 calendar days (not including Sundays and legal holidays) of your 5th day of disability. However, it’s worth it to confirm they’ve done so. If they haven’t, you can file it yourself.
Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters. Insurers may pressure you to talk early on. Politely decline and send them to your lawyer, especially if you’re unsure how your words could affect your claim.
Don’t rush back to work. If your doctor says you need time to recover, follow their advice. Returning too soon could worsen your injury and hurt your claim.

Taking these steps can strengthen your case and make it easier to access the benefits you may deserve under Massachusetts law.

When Should You Call a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer?

Not every workers’ comp claim needs a lawyer—but if something goes wrong, having one on your side can make a big difference. You should consider calling a Brockton workers’ comp lawyer if:

You suffered a serious injury or face a long recovery. More severe injuries usually mean higher costs and more time off work, which can lead to more resistance from the insurance company.
Your claim was denied or delayed. If you’re not getting benefits or the process is dragging out, a lawyer can help push things forward and file an appeal if needed.
Your employer disputes that the injury happened at work. If they’re trying to say it wasn’t job-related or was caused by something else, legal help may be crucial.
You’re being pressured to return to work too soon. Some employers or insurers may encourage you to go back before you’re ready, risking your health and your claim.
You have a pre-existing condition. Insurance companies often use old injuries as an excuse to avoid paying benefits. A lawyer can help prove your work injury made the condition worse.
You’re unsure what benefits you qualify for. An attorney can explain what compensation may be available and help you pursue everything you may be owed under Massachusetts law.

In any situation where your recovery, job, or benefits are at risk, legal guidance may help protect your future. At Jim Glaser Law, the consultation is free, so there’s no harm in asking.

Mal King

23 January 2021

I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,

Who Qualifies for Workers’ Comp in Massachusetts?

Most workers in Massachusetts are covered by workers’ compensation from day one on the job, but there are some important details to know:

Employees are covered. If you’re classified as an employee—whether full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal—you’re generally eligible for workers’ compensation if you’re injured while performing work duties.
Independent contractors usually aren’t, but misclassification is common. Some workers are labeled “independent contractors” even when they meet the legal definition of an employee. If you believe you’ve been misclassified, you may still have a right to benefits.
Injuries don’t have to be sudden. Workers’ comp also covers repetitive stress injuries (like carpal tunnel), job-related illnesses, and conditions that develop over time due to your work environment.
Undocumented workers may also qualify. Massachusetts law does not require workers to have legal immigration status to receive workers’ compensation benefits.
Your injury must be work-related. Whether it happened at your workplace or offsite while performing your job, the injury must be connected to your employment.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, talking to a lawyer can help. Jim Glaser Law can review your situation for free and help you understand your rights.

Common Workplace Injuries

Work-related injuries can happen in any job environment, from construction sites to office desks. Some injuries are sudden and traumatic, while others build up over time due to repeated movements or ongoing stress. No matter how they happen, these injuries can seriously impact your ability to work and live comfortably.

Here are some of the most common injuries and conditions that may qualify for workers’ compensation:

Back and neck injuries, often caused by heavy lifting, poor ergonomics, or falls.
Repetitive strain injuries.
PTSD and psychological trauma from traumatic events on the job.
Hearing and vision loss, especially from prolonged noise or chemical exposure.
Head injuries and concussions, common in falls or machinery accidents.
Occupational illnesses like respiratory issues, skin conditions, or toxic exposure-related diseases.
Fractures, sprains, and strains from slips, trips, or overexertion.
Crush injuries and amputations from heavy equipment or machinery.
Heatstroke, hypothermia, and other environmental injuries, especially in outdoor work.

If you’ve experienced any of these conditions due to your job, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits in Massachusetts. A Brockton workers’ comp lawyer from Jim Glaser Law can help you take the next step.

What Workers’ Compensation Benefits Could You Get?

Depending on your injury and how it affects your ability to work, you may qualify for several types of workers’ compensation benefits in Massachusetts.

Workers’ comp may cover all reasonable and necessary medical expenses related to your work injury. This includes emergency care, surgeries, follow-up visits, medications, and physical therapy.

If you’re unable to work or can only work reduced hours, you may receive temporary total disability (TTD) or temporary partial disability (TPD) benefits. These are weekly payments meant to replace a portion of your lost income.

If your injury results in permanent damage or long-term impairment, you may be eligible for permanent partial or permanent total disability benefits, depending on the severity and how it limits your ability to work.

If you can’t return to your old job, the Massachusetts workers’ comp system may provide vocational rehabilitation services to help you learn new skills and find a different type of work.

If a loved one dies from a work-related injury or illness, surviving dependents may be entitled to weekly death benefits and help with funeral costs.

Each case is different, and you may qualify for more than one type of benefit. A lawyer can help you make sure you’re not leaving anything on the table. Get in touch today for a free consultation!

How Insurance Companies Try to Limit or Deny Claims

After you report a workplace injury, the insurance company isn’t always on your side. Their goal is to save money, and that often means looking for ways to reduce or deny your claim.

They might say your injury didn’t happen at work, claim it’s related to a pre-existing condition, or send you to a doctor who downplays your symptoms. Communication delays are also common, leaving you in the dark about your benefits.

These tactics can be frustrating and financially harmful, especially when you’re trying to heal. That’s why many injured workers in Brockton choose to work with a lawyer who can handle these obstacles and fight back when the system doesn’t treat them fairly.

Was Your Workers’ Comp Claim Denied in Brockton?

Getting denied doesn’t mean the end of your claim—but it does mean you need to act fast. In Massachusetts, you have the right to appeal a denial through the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA), but strict deadlines and documentation rules apply.

Many denials come down to paperwork issues, missed deadlines, or lack of supporting evidence. A workers’ comp lawyer can help you gather the necessary records, fill out the right forms, and represent you during the appeal process. If you’re unsure why your claim was denied or what to do next, legal help may make the difference in getting the benefits you may deserve.

How the Massachusetts Workers’ Compensation Process Works

Filing a workers’ comp claim in Brockton, MA, involves several steps. Here’s how the process typically goes:

Report the injury to your employer. Let your supervisor know about your injury as soon as possible, and do it in writing. This starts the clock for everything that follows.
Your employer files a claim with their insurance. If your injury keeps you out of work for 5 or more full or partial calendar days, your employer must submit a claim (Form 101) to their workers’ comp insurer and notify the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA) within 7 calendar days.
The insurance company accepts or denies the claim. They have 14 days from receiving the claim to start paying benefits or send a denial notice. If they do nothing, it may be time to talk to a lawyer.
You can request a conference or hearing if denied. If the insurer refuses to pay or stops your benefits, you can file a claim with the DIA and request a Conciliation, followed by a Conference, and possibly a formal Hearing if the issue isn’t resolved.
A lawyer can guide you through every step. From paperwork and deadlines to negotiating with insurers and representing you at hearings, a workers’ comp attorney can handle the legal side while you focus on healing.

The workers’ comp process can be overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with an injury. That’s why so many workers turn to Jim Glaser Law for help.

Workers’ Compensation FAQs

Workers’ comp benefits typically cover medical treatment, a portion of lost wages, permanent disability benefits, and vocational retraining if needed. If the injury is fatal, they may also provide death benefits to surviving family members.

There are no upfront costs. At Jim Glaser Law, you only pay if we win your case. Legal fees in Massachusetts are typically set by the Department of Industrial Accidents and are often paid by the insurance company if your claim is successful.

Massachusetts law protects you from being fired in retaliation for filing a claim. If you believe your employer took action against you for seeking benefits, you may have legal options.

You generally have 4 years from the date you became aware of the injury or illness and its connection to your job. However, reporting deadlines are as short as 7 days, and the sooner you act, the better your chances of a successful claim.

Usually, independent contractors aren’t covered, but some workers are misclassified. If you’re treated like an employee but labeled otherwise, you may still qualify for benefits. Don’t hesitate to contact a lawyer and get the assistance you need.

In most cases, no. Workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy for job-related injuries in Massachusetts, but there may be exceptions if a third party contributed to your injury or if your employer demonstrated especially reckless or intentional behavior leading to your injuries.

Workers’ comp does not pay for pain and suffering. It’s limited to covering medical bills, lost wages, and certain other related costs. If you qualify for a work injury lawsuit, pain and suffering benefits may be recovered.
